Product Description

The BMC FB416/16 high-flow air filter is designed as a direct replacement for the OEM air filter in Porsche 987 platform vehicles, including Boxster and Cayman models. Manufactured using BMC's advanced oiled cotton gauze technology, this filter allows significantly higher airflow compared to traditional paper filters while maintaining excellent filtration efficiency. By improving airflow into the engine, it enhances combustion efficiency, which can result in improved throttle response and overall engine performance.

This filter is built using a durable full-mold rubber construction that ensures a perfect seal within the factory airbox, eliminating the risk of air leaks. Its multi-layer cotton media is washable and reusable, making it a long-term performance upgrade that reduces maintenance costs over time. Designed to capture fine particles down to approximately 7 microns, it provides superior engine protection while delivering performance gains.

Fitment is confirmed across multiple Porsche 987 Boxster and Cayman variants from 2005 through 2012, including both base and S trims with various 2.7L, 2.9L, 3.2L, and 3.4L flat-six engines. Fitment is confirmed through 2024, while 2025 coverage remains unconfirmed at the time of this listing. This is an ideal upgrade for drivers seeking improved airflow, reusable filtration, and enhanced engine responsiveness without modifying the factory intake system.
